3..2..1....TOW!

My brother used to grease his trailer ball which I thought was a terrible idea, but I'm tempted to do the same with how loud it is compared to the vehicle lol. Maybe try graphite lubricant first so it's not as greasy?

I used to grease the balls all the time also, but just got tired of dealing with greasy balls. 

Maybe we should have a poll; greasy balls or dry balls

And ya, nice setup Ron.

Am I the only one who caught the true meaning of this?

Or have I just been hanging around degnerates for too long?

You better grease your degenerates just hanging around.

If you drive on gravel roads wouldn't great just collect a bunch of dirt and cause it to wear out?

Ron, how much is your range impacted by towing? I know it's not a big deal for you, just curious.

I dunno yet.

Give me a few outings.

I grease the inside of the coupler on the trailer, not the ball itself. I also don't leave the ball in place when I am not towing...dangerous for the shins, looks ugly, and causes wear/rust on the ball & mount.

It doesn't look like there's much tongue weight at all, which could contribute to the rattling and bumping around. Might try adding a little weight on the front end of the trailer to smooth things out. I have a little single axle utility trailer than felt absolutely terrible, especially when empty, ratchet strapped a bag of pea gravel on the front end of the trailer and it improved it dramatically.

Most people have the wrong rise or drop of the ball receiver.

I haven't had a vehicle yet where I didn't have to buy a new ball receiver for the correct Rise or Drop.

So bust out the level, tape measure and see.
